"Stay!" Ethran's voice made the craftsmen who raised the wooden hammers and prepared to fire the cannon crossbows put down their hands in confusion. "Alev has not fired a signal flare yet!" Ethran saw the strong man who was shocked by the dragon roar and did not move after getting up again, and immediately shouted loudly, "Believe in his judgment!"

Just as she was talking, the huge monster continued to step closer to the standing girl. Ethran now had the opportunity to take a look at its full picture: its tail, which was about seventy-five feet long, was lifted with effort, and the more it reached the end, the weaker it dragged onto the ground; a huge head, like the hammer head of a large siege hammer, a pair of buffaloes, its exposed deformed teeth, and its entire body, made it almost huge

A whole circle of stone lumps; the lumps on its back were shattered a lot, and the cracked edges had melted into lava by yellow flames. The tiny and hot lava flowed down its side like a small snake, dripping onto the ground, making a hissing sound; a pair of wings that could not be lifted by the stone lumps were pressed together and pressed on its back. It seemed that it always subconsciously wanted to spread its wings, but it immediately gathered up as soon as the dragon wings opened a little.

A hot breath came out from its nostrils, rolled up the hem of the girl's cloak, and blew away the dust at her feet. Athran saw a small part of the sand flying up like a hot fireflies, and then landing on the ground - the sand was melted.

Sweat flowed down Ethran's cheeks. Although she said she wanted to believe Alev's judgment at this moment, the critical scene still made Ethran feel anxious. What was that guy Alev doing?! Ethran almost wanted to pull his collar and yelled at him.

The dragon could swallow the petite girl wrapped in a cloak just by just a little peeking out. What was even more exaggerated was that the hot air hovering around it was melting the dust under its feet.

Although Ethran made multiple preparations, she was sure that the cloak she gave to the little girl would never resist so much heat. Maybe just wait a few seconds or the dragon leaned forward a little, and the little girl's cloak would burn.

At this moment, it can be said that there was no extra effort to make them hesitate. The little girl might die in the next second at any time. Alev still did not move. Ethran gritted his teeth, picked up the copper-tube telescope and looked in the direction of Alev. The open space in front of the inner castle gate was dark at this moment, and he could only barely see things with the big brazier at the front of the inner castle gate, the burning flames in the distant city and the yellow flames on the dragon's body.

Ethran saw Alev's shadow and raised his thick arms high. Ethran knew that it was the position of preparing to fire a signal flare, and Alev was obviously as entangled as her at this moment.

What exactly will happen? Ethran looked at the small shadow, because she was wrapped in a cloak, Ethran could not see what she was doing. But one thing is certain, Ethran put down the copper-tube telescope in her hand and thought that the dragon did stop.

...

The sharp blades intertwined in the air, without cold light, without sparks, or even without sound. But Aleya must have seen Joel's black sword hit something and bounced back.

"What happened?!" Alps shouted in surprise, but no one answered him. He only saw Joel dancing with a pale halo under his feet dancing like a ghost, his speed was jaw-dropping.

The flames gathered like fog on the edge of Joel's halo, forming a pillar of light like smoke, with the top of which was against the ceiling of the tunnel. "Joel?" shouted Joel in the Alps' light column, but he did not respond, and the pillar of light was still approaching their side.

"Is he crazy?" Robin asked in horror, yelling.

"No! No!" Atherland shouted, "Something is chasing Joel!"

"But I saw nothing-" Before Alps finished speaking, Joel's beam of light had passed by himself. Joel stepped back and held the sword in both hands to resist some attack, while Alps saw that thing. The sharp blade passed through the pillar of light like smoke, draped hard on Joel's blade, and then took it back.

But the sharp blade disappeared after it passed through the light column.

"What's invisible attacking Joel!" Alps shouted.

"Invisible?!" Robin's eyes widened, "Are you serious?"

The Alps hung the lantern on the buttons of the belt and pulled out the iron sword around her waist.

He chased Joel in the direction of the pale aura. Although Joel's speed would be greatly improved in the pale aura, he did not move back quickly. Obviously, the invisible thing chased him very tightly. Alps quickly chased him and raised the iron sword in his hand.

With a diagonal slash, Alps was sure that the tip of his sword touched the pillar of light surrounding Joel, and he also saw a sharp blade slashing on the black sword in Joel's hand. But Alps cut down nothing.

What's going on? Alps' mind was blank. After his sword was swung empty, he stared blankly at Joel's sudden retreat, and then began to turn around and escape.

"How is it?" Aleya immediately asked anxiously after catching up with him: "Have you hit that thing?"

"No...I don't know." Alps raised his sword and looked at the blade in his hand dumbly, "I don't know if I hit it."

...

Joel was a little excited when he hit the guy in the Alps, but he was shocked again immediately.

He deliberately slowed down his retreat, dragged the guy, and waited for the Alps to come. When the Alps' sword blade passed through the body of the thing, it seemed like it had slashed through the shadow, and it did not hurt the thing at all. The sharp blade of the thing slashed on Joel's black sword, causing his arms to numb and his tiger's mouth to hurt.

Joel realized that he could not get rid of the guy quickly, so he decided to escape. He swung his sword to avoid the thing, and then turned around and fled immediately.

Sure enough, the thing caught up.

What is that? When Joel turned his head and looked at the thing, he thought again, what is that?

The guy was wearing weird armor and was thin. The armor seemed to be attached to his skin. It didn't look thick, but reflected a shining silvery luster. There was no gap on his cylindrical helmet, only a red gem emitting a weird red light. He was like a steel figure, his movements were stiff but extremely fast.

His speed was so fast that Joel was shocked. If Joel hadn't unfolded the snake ring in time, his head might have flew out and rolled on the ground several times.

His weapon was a sharp blade connected to his arm armor. No, it was not so much that he had no hands at all, and that sharp blade replaced his palm. The blade exuded the same shiny luster as the armor, as if the eyes would be cut when looking at it.

This thing is not human. Joel thought to himself, and he turned his head, and the thing was chasing him, and the gem with red light in the dark was shaking, looking creepy.

No, you have to shake it off. Joel gritted his teeth and tried to make the time in the snake ring pass faster to shake off that thing.

At this time, Joel heard the stiff sound of the thing coming from the darkness behind him. Every word had the same tone, as if it was pieced together steadily, without any emotional fluctuations. In any case, Joel was sure that it was not a human voice. But Joel understood what it said, but did not understand the meaning of it.

“…Target escape, risk assessment level is improved…”

"...The data is being uploaded, the target id cannot be determined, searching..."

“…No permission. Permission escalation request has been sent…”

“…No permission. Permission escalation request has been sent…”

“…No permission. Target hazard assessment level has been improved again…”

"…The target has fled, and the request for escalation of hunting permissions has been sent..."

Joel heard his voice getting farther and farther away, but just as the last sentence came, Joel turned his head and saw the red gem in the darkness suddenly lit up a stronger light. Just before Joel reacted, the thing had suddenly narrowed its distance from him.

Joel turned around suddenly, and the sharp blade in the thing's hand had already passed through the light fog surrounding Joel and slashed hard towards his head. Joel raised the black sword, but could only barely block the attack. Joel was shocked by the sudden increase of the power of the thing, and was cut back continuously.

Joel saw the thing tilted his head, and the red gem flashed with a strong light again. His figure seemed to be blurred to Joel at this moment. Joel gritted his teeth and held the hand holding the snake ring tightly. Suddenly, the light of the pale halo under his feet flashed, and Joel's eyes were swallowed by the white light.

...

When Joel came to his senses, he was already in a dark place, but there was a pale light under his feet, and the mist was shrouded in the pale light. What place is this? Joel raised his head blankly, but saw something huge in the endless darkness above his head, and at the same time, there were loud noises that made people thrill.

The huge thing made people feel despair and depression. Joel could notice that the thing moved, and a small amber eye stared at Joel. It was a snake eye.

"Sword-swalking Snake..." Joel knew who was looking at him, and the loud noises coming from afar were the heartbeat and breathing of the god.

"Rui-Du-In-" The huge voice seemed to be thunder coming from the darkness, pressing through all the sounds and echoed in Joel's internal organs. He felt that he was about to be flattened by this sound.

But before that, the huge head of the Sword-Swallowing Snake lowered slightly, and then the white light at Joel's feet could barely see its appearance. Joel saw that all the areas above his head could reach were occupied by its huge head, and the Sword-Swallowing Snake's eyes were still staring at him.

Joel heard the sound of it protruding the snake letter, like a strong wind blew by.

"I'll keep an eye on you,"

...

The roaring sound of the Sword-Swallowing Snake exploded in Joel's ears, making his mind messy, but when his vision recovered, there was no suffocating huge body and amber snake eyes in the darkness, only a very close gem with red light.

Joel raised the black sword in his hand. He could not directly feel the speed of time flowing faster, but the speed of that weird thing really slowed down.

The black sword collided with the sharp blade. Although the speed slowed down, the power was still amazing. Joel retreated repeatedly and turned around to escape. After the attack, the thing was obviously stunned. After seizing this opportunity, Joel began to escape without hesitation.

Joel's head hurts as if it is about to explode, but he can only endure it, because if he relaxes a little, the thing may catch up and kill him. He must keep the time he has to accelerate as the current Snake Ring has.

He had to leave here immediately. Joel gritted his teeth and thought that with the map in his memory, Joel found the fastest path to leave the dungeon. He had to be as soon as possible.

...

When the girl screamed shrillly, there was no sign. A crossbow on the city wall suddenly fired a crossbow like a wooden stake, directly piercing the rocks on the dragon's body. The loud noise and the roar of the demon dragon made everyone stunned.

Then the signal bounced out of the air, and the cannon crossbows on the inner castle walls fired at the huge demon dragon. The hinges and strings of the crossbows made a whine, and the wooden structure also creaked, as if it was about to fall apart after only one firing. The huge crossbow arrow stabbed the demon dragon's body, and the heavy and sharp iron arrow pierced the stone shell and nailed the demon dragon's body.

Its roar sounded throughout the night, and the yellow flames burned even more vigorously. Everyone knew that the dragon-like eyes looked at the wall of the inner castle with resentment.

In a volley, only three shots did not hit the dragon, and the others were nailed directly to its back, and some even began to burn.

"Recharge quickly!" someone shouted in horror.

But Ethran roared in anger: "Recharge a big-headed ghost! Escape from the city wall immediately!"

These idiots actually fired the crossbow together! Atherland repeatedly told them before that they would take turns shooting, so as to strive to be able to recharge more, fire several more rounds, and severely damage or even kill the dragon at the fastest speed! But these idiots were wasting such a great opportunity!

No, not just wasted… Etherland took a step back and shouted, “Everyone! Immediately! Evade the walls!”

Before his eyes left the clearing, Ethran saw it moving.

Like a huge lizard, it turned around and quickly moved towards the inner castle wall. While roaring, it opened and finally began to emit smoke, and a golden flame lit up in its throat.

"Retreat!" someone shouted in horror, then a yellow flame spurted out of the demon dragon's mouth and hit the wall of the inner castle directly. Everyone could feel the wall under their feet trembling, as if they were hit by a siege hammer head-on.

The flames began to climb up the city wall like smoke. The stone bricks under the feet of those who had no time to escape began to break, and the edge of the city wall began to tilt outward, because the part directly sprayed by the flames had begun to melt. The cloaks dragged on the ground by those people directly burned, and the craftsmen tried their best to debug, and the enhanced artillery crossbow also ignited yellow flames. The metal roared, and the screws popped out like escape. The structure of the entire artillery crossbow collapsed.

The flames were like the roar of a demon dragon, and the terrifying and huge sound made people instinctively want to escape. The stench of sulfur and the smoke from the melting rocks made people feel like they were in hell. This dragon breath directly ignited half of the inner castle's wall.

The yellow flames could burn on the stones, and the yellow flames soared into the sky. Mercenaries were screaming on the city wall, and servants and guards inside the city wall were wailing in despair.

Before Ethran escaped, she saw that there was already a mess in the courtyard of the inner castle. Is this how people react when facing the magic dragon? Ethran couldn't help but think.

Then if there were no guards who led them into the inner castle, and when the yellow flames surged onto the city wall, they had to close the iron gate, they might have ended up like those who didn't have time to enter. Those who were ignited by the flames would not die immediately. The shrill screams they made could make the coldest-blooded people frown.

The person responsible for closing the door was also affected. As soon as the iron gate was closed, the guards who were leaning against the iron gate were holding back their bodies before they could take back their bodies, they let out a shrill scream. Because the iron gate had become as hot as iron blocks in the stove, the burned person screamed and rolled on the ground, and then was quickly carried down to deal with it.

The terrified people subconsciously wanted to stay away from the iron door, but another sound from outside the door made them feel desperate.

It was a dull sound, and they all knew that the dragon had climbed up the city wall.

The guards who had retreated from the city wall were now unable to retreat. They held the sword and stared at the entrance to the inner castle. Some of them had begun to sobbed in despair, and their hands trembled, but they still stood firm.

Ethran quickly moved away from the entrances, and the craftsmen who escaped followed her honestly. She had a gloomy face because she greatly underestimated the terribleness of the dragon, and was also very upset by the decision-making mistakes.

But now these are not the most important things. Be calm, Atherland, be calm.

"Female, ma'am! What should I do next?!" the craftsman following Ethran asked with a look of shock.

Ethran just glared at him fiercely without answering. At this time, she grabbed a maid who wanted to escape. The middle-aged woman was almost crazy, but Ethran said in a cold taste: "Take us to another exit to the city wall right away! Now!"
